12:03 am
richard gere saying i speak for the entire world? >> he speaks for his own cause them that happens quite a bit. look at the actors that went crazy over bush th the war on iraq and the debut andy and then commercials but none of them speak out about benghazi that is a huge scandal in my book. john: they are dishonest and hypocritical. >> hocritical rules the day in that to and we can all be guilty here and there but it is amazing the people that want to push their agenda just because they are a so-called super star. john: in hollywood they talk about power. >> but they don't have tolerance for anybody who disagrees also freedom of speech. they will push it until they die but if you disagree did not want to give it to you. lookup true independence i

voted for reagan and clinton obviously the best person running period but just to say i'm an independent makes me lose work in the city. john: really? >> no question. it has come back to me trust me. i have spent on said i get tired of people's opinions i am not even a agree i just point out where my viewpoints are different than that is the death to get people to turn off they get a green ian devotional. there is no facts only emotion. when i said i voted for reagan i was in canada they said you are such an educated. >> i work with 12,000 kids the best after-school program in the state for inner-city kids 12,000 kids we have a 90 percent graduation rate.
12:05 am
john: but because you vote a certain way? >> it is the indoctrination but i keep asking socialism? how does it work? >> in hollywood carry about obamacare does not affect them. john: the biggest cause is saving the earth and climate change. here is a commercial done by harrison ford. >> when rainforest are slasheand burned their releases tons of carbon into the air we breathe. the changes our climate. it hurts. every bit of rain forest cut down over there really hurts us over here. john: what? waxing your chest hair and the of rain forests? it is a gimmick but i would not mind so much i would not
12:06 am
mind if they were such a hypoite but he owns seven airplanes. he admits he once flew the jet to get a cheeseburger. it makes you wish people would confront them. but this brings someone did. >> any other plans to get your chest waxed. are you still flying to get a cheeseburger? i guess you drive the honda odyssey. owning seven aircraft is it still seven? how do you recommend americans keep up with your carbon footprint? author of the best-seller hollywood hypocrites' author jason mattera. harrison ford may be a hypocrite but you are obnoxious you are reared. >> i learned from the best i've followed your career at
12:07 am
2020 defending people who were duplicitous. john: crooks and thieves this is just a poor actor. >> who has a lot of sway especially with young people unfortunately like better noyoung people take the cue from celebrities. being hip and cool means in favor of the conservationist policies that harrison ford got his chest waxed over but i don't care he owns seven airplanes. i would love to but do not lecture me or the rest of us that we are on the press of this of kakarmic added while you have a sasquatch sized car ben for prep. thats what i confronted him. >> the press treats actors differently the paparazzi annoy them but reporters to question them. >>. bill: exclusivity the interviews are patty cake
12:08 am
they will not grow them on substantive policy positions that the actors themselves have taken it is notout of the blue bu somebody asked harrison ford is serious question about his own personal car been for a pram. we would have to walk around spraying aerosol cans all day long just to keep up with his carbon footprint. john: you are an independent voting for republicans and democrats but that makes him very unusual.@ overwhelmingly days of four liberal democrats and obama certainly and that led to another pledge. >> to be of service to barack obama. >> i pledged to be of service to our presidents. >> and all mankind. together became and. john: dunne guess we can campaign. my book is titled "no they
12:09 am
can't." i have a problem they say yes we can meaning individuals but president and obama of the means government and that is a dangerous idea. and you are not allowed to say things like that in hollywood. >> not allowed to disagree with hollywood. it is mind-boggling that things that come out of people's mouths they pushing employers did everything they push for does not have the fact on them. i have calledith the big names i say you can afford to be a socialist you are worth $100 billion. john: y said that? [laughter] to george clooney. >> he ys raise taxes. >> to drive a toyota petraeus to the ms -- jemmies but they have a private airplane and iish i had a private airplane. >> many advoce to raise taxes but well-connected
12:10 am
celebrities are quick to use your tax dodges. >> owning acres of land in new jersey but pays only $100 of state property tax because he raises honeybees' he qualifies for the honeybee subsidy. bruce springsteen owns hundreds of acres of land but pays little tax because a an organic farmer works his land his pour neighbors pay more. >> i don't get anybody trying to lower taxes but bonn jovi and springsteen publicly supporting for obama holding rallies but then cry tax cuts for their riches and they robbed of poverty programs and a social contract with america being destrod the middle-class is harmed but then you rob those anti-poverty programs by calling yourself a former?
12:11 am
that is the hypocrisy that is frustrating to see why i wrote the book calling of these people on their duplicity. john: one final example some of the activists are so eager to promote anti- capitalist they glamorize people like bill ears -- bill ayers they killed people and bombed buildings and obama held a fund-raiser in bill ayers living room so robert redford came out with a movie based on the weather underground that the terrorists are on the run. >> we'd never be trade any of us all these years. >> i saw an interview with him about this movie he is behind it wanted to% it was the good thing.
12:12 am
what kind of statement is that somebody that was blowing up buildings and hurting hundredsf people? i don't know. it is so screwed up a and sad to see what is going on it is strange to me. john: he invited me to sundance and he did not talk to me when i was there. [laughter] but he was there. there is a sliver of the open debate. >> just a sliver. john: and made me wish somebody would confront robert redford about this gimmick is a deplorable you glamorized the weather underground as a domestic terrorist? will you make a movie about the boston bomber's next? john: he never responded. >> no. his entourage surrounded me and would not let me g up close.
12:13 am
but this goes beyond hypocrisy it is a human decency factor. it is one thing to make a movie about the weather underground terrorist but another thing to romanticize it to make get a heartfelt. a bank robbery that resulted in the murder of two police officers a and a security guard and now redford will make a movie that is essentially one big tribute? it is remarkably deplorable even by hollywood standards. john: thank you jason and kevin. please go to facebook or twitter to keep the conversation going and use that #hollywood and let people know what you think. people know what you think. more celebrity hy

many are clueless. leonardo to capriotes told a reporter he was to take a break from acting to fly around the world to being good for the environment. around the world? we just heard about harrison ford seven airplanes don't they get that puts more carbon than 1,000 light bulbs? it is if they live in a separate stupid world called hollywood nation. that is the title of james hirsen bought. what is going? >> hollywood has embraced environmentalism as a religion they have a high priest the nobel laureate laureate, of the oscar winner of court you have to accept what he says with a knife faith and without logic. >> but some blindness to the
12:19 am
fact you mention al gore i was surprised to see build the monster homes while preaching? >> the hypocrisy is monumental the 19,000 square foot mansion in tennessee, a group could get a hold of his utilities was 20 times of the average american also mention at mont to cboe near zero pres house. john: are any of those environmental activist not hypocrites? to some live the life? >> ed begley, jr., a darrell hill and that, they actually live a lifestyle consistent with what they preach but that is rare. the vast majority of celebrities take opulence to the highest level. john: p said turn your lights out but also he has
12:20 am
big houses. reason to be combined his video. >> i pledge to turn the lights off i would leave them on but i will turn them off. >> is the unaware of the hypocrisy? >> i just think he goes out on tour and has a carbon footprint of a third-world nation with the idea that that will make a difference even if you believe in the theory of man caused global warming it seems ludicrous. john: keystone pipeline some actors made a short film that makes it seem like the in the deal horror movie the family plays -- buys a new home. >> how beautiful? wh is the catch? >> it is near the keystone pipeline.
12:21 am
we need to leave. it will be okay. it will be okay. john: but this bad science is pushed in video by talented people. >> with you do something in a narrative form or a recognizable actress with a clever theme as you have said that looks like a horror movie and it is very effective. the people that flash the environmental agenda have a tremendous resource with celebrities who are willing to do this kind of video. john: americc's biggest environmental success is tracking for natural gas. in a day reduced america's
12:22 am
cardinal put my celebrities like john lennon's wife and son trash it is don't frack my mother then the crowd follows. >> they do. powerfully they sway natalie their followers like when george clooney stted off on global warming says something, it goes global. unlike the and on celebrities who cannot get the word out quite as effectively. they are a great power. john: james hirsen. by the way ed begley, jr. said he either does conservation from his coervative father it was wrong to waste any resource. wealso reached out to every actor about the hypocrisy
12:23 am
but not one responded. hollywood makes millions selling stuff to us but at the same time they say they despise profit. >> it is a filthy word. >> reid. another word for as a business owner, i'm constantly putting out fires. so i deserve a small business credit card with amazing rewards. with the spark cascard from capital one, i get 2% cash back on ery purchase, every day. i break my back around here. finally soone's recognizing me with unlimited rewards! meetings start at 11, cindy.

>> let's use the word capitalism. john: capitalism it is a curse the opinion of some local celebrities that hollywood does vilify capitalism and movies it creates killer viruses and they sacrifice people. they spread leukemia. capitalist chop down the last raid for stand poison people and hollywood thrives because of capitalism. they may sneer at profit but
12:28 am
they chase it and to turn to someone who was interviewed and mocking celebrities for years. kennedy the veejay from mtv what is the contradiction? >> old as turkey and is so annoying. they start to base their lives through the box office no industry is more competitive than the film industry and they have to make money so then they can make more money but yet somehow it is sturdy and filthy if you call me a capitalist i am okay with that. perfectly acceptable. john: let's play more of that panel with c-span. >> of falls st. and rich thought it was bad they would get rid of it babied large, half the country living in anxiety and fear in the other half over here

12:30 am
the environment. >> they get a little tiny bit of knowledge did it become so watered down socialist dribble and he is the attention horror like the paris hilton of film. john: he once a socialis egalitarian system. >> appeals to people when they are very young and idealistic and passionate and insane which is you are supposed to be but then we grow up and pay taxes. he is not relevant in entertainment so he has to say these things to get injured -- attention. john: what about george lucas? he has made billions to help create "star wars" or indiana jones. >> among the people who have known you as a billionaire that is not crazy about capitalism. >> that's true.
12:31 am
i grew up in the60s i am a patriot but i am also a believer in democracy not capitalist democracy. i do not believe the rich should by the government and that is the way i feel. >> is that the america you see? >> it has been that way for a long time. john: he does have a point that mitt rich people make contributions. >> it is frustrating for a lot of voters but it is also the unions. we live in the system paid for by the highest bidder. contributing thousands and thousands of dollars. but the reason the rich spend all this not because they are evil or change behavior but when government is that dick, people will spend to influence. >> he sold his company for

over 4 billion. that is a tiny profit as a shrewd space. >> the most money comes from this stuff, the "star wars" paraphernalia that he sells it has cotton rich spend as he was very shrewd with that deal for the action figures because he convinced spock nobody will buy the action figures boyce told by dolls. that is how he became the multimillionaire. of. >> capitalist who doesn't like capitalism coming up more celebrities pushing for gun control. >> right now. >> right now. >> so many. which ones are hypocrites? p

higher in hollywood pripet the self righteous hypocrites are testifying and demanding a plan from thgovernment. you can do a plan in your own life if you don't want to have guns, nobody forces you but they are concerned with what other people do and take no responsibility for what they do themselves. john: for the record there is no edence of violence and film leads to violence in real life there has been more in in films and video games but the real life it is dropping. >> it is true people contest the idea there is a relationship between violence on the screen in real life of more evidee of that association claus widespread gun ownership. >> after that psa there's someone read edited data commercial.

12:51 am
gave me a copy of capitalism and freedom after the intruction alone i was hooked. john: by milton friedman. up next celebrities who do get a right. every day we're working to be an even better company -
12:52 am
12:53 am

and to keep our commitments. and we've made a big commitment to america. bp supports nearly 250,000 jobs here. through all of our energy operations, we invest more in the u.s. than any other place in the world. in fact, we've invested over $55 billion here in the last five years - making bp america's largest energy investor. our commitment has never been stronger.
12:55 am
>> i pledged to be of service to barack obama. >> i pledge to be a servant to our preside. john: they sure drink the kool-aid. but why do so many loved politicians to push bigger government? they are not all stupid? some are but part of it is always the tendency to support what their peers support and hollywood supports liberalism but why did it becomes a leftist? i have some theories. because so many actors are good-looking men -- maybe the became famous through a lucky audition or a lucky break for good looks so government must intervene to make life more fair. no? how about this. since actors work for others they half to do with those government burden than those
12:56 am
who really innovate like those to build a factory or nt apartment complex or jump through hoops to invent medicine. they collect a paycheck the agents handle details. i read an article about love line -- lifelong democrat rob schneider. he plays idiots in movies. now has become a republican because he ted to run a business but california's regulation was so bad he moved out of california to changed political parties. trying to start a business will camera. -- woke him up. final label one more reason why hollywood is a leftist because acting is about connecting with people and emotionally.
12:57 am
it is not about studying data from their coz coming entitlement bigger see is a math problem just arithmetic. i can see disaster but the emotional actor says you want to limit the promise to entitlent? you want to killed grand by and do a commcial to detect paul ryan to push her off the cliff. they often wind through the emotional appeal spinet they relate to their emotions but scientific explanation but that is all i got. you have got better idea? tell us what you think on facebook or twitter. but end with a sliver of good news for those who are libertarian or a conservative like clin eastwood and tom selleck and kevin sorbo. i am told kurt russell and i
12:58 am
am not sure i met him once in newt gingrich office he is not a libertarian that may be kurt russell is? are you? then the of comedy star vince vaughnn but now he has a radio show and said this. >> i very supportive of ron paul. as you get older you have less trust of the government running anything like that the constitution the real purpose is to protect the individual rights. john: yes. he said too many rules lead to government corruption and other unintended consequences. he gets it. maybe there are more libertarians in hollywood in the closet. for if you don't march in step with the other liberals you may not get work as
12:59 am
kevin sorbo said earlier. >> just to say i'm an independent is enough to lose working in the city. john: that is why just well established stars who are willing to speak up and performers like drew carey who now works for reason tv. >> we don't need garett centralized government to tell us what color to paint our house. john: but maybe the entertainers cannot comprehend. let's close that when they say government must act to protect privacy on the web? penn gillette said this beckett is not the governmentts business to protect your privacy from facebook. if facebook does things that people don't like everybody will leave facebook and a lot of business. all you need is free speech and free markets.
1:00 am
john: free speech to free markets? that is about all we need. that is our show. see you next week.of the melting arctic ice caps. >> thanks for joining us. raise the wage! raise the wage! raise the wage! >> super sizing the wage war. fast food workers in hundreds o cities walking off the job this week. it's all part of union-backed protests, demanding 15 bucks an hour. and president obama agreeing it's time for a raise in the minimum wage. >> i'm going to keep pushing until we get a higher minimum wage for hard-working americans across the entire country. it will be good for our economy. >> but, as the unemployment rate is heading in the right direction, will this wage hike have jobs taking a hike? hi, everyone, this is "bulls and bears." let's get right to it. the bulls and bears.
